The Bare Necessities

We all have our own favourite 'basic' beauty products that we've used for years and years. Typically consisting of; some kind of deodorant or spray, perfume, make-up remover, moisturiser, shampoo etc. 

Here are SOME of my favourites that I thought i'd share with all you lovelies. I continue to buy these products time after time as they are just so necessary in my day to day life, God knows what i'd do without them haha!


Batiste Dry Shampoo - If you didn't already know, dry shampoo is a spray powder kind of thing that you can use in the morning or before going out if you don't have enough time to wash and dry your hair. It's brill! It's so quick and easy to use and saves loads of time. Obviously it is not advisable to use this product and only this, this is more of a 'quick fix' during a bad hair day rather than an alternative to washing your hair regularly. I have tried other dry shampoo, but I have not found one that I prefer to batiste, this one is my ultimate fave. Currently I am using 'Floral and Flirty Blush' but there are loads of different ones you can choose from and I often mix them up and change what I use. You can get this product from boots! 



Boots Essentials Cleansing Wipes - These wipes are the perfect way to take of your make-up at the end of the day, within one wipe you can remove all make-up; eye's, face & lips all in one wipe. They are awesome! There are different types you can but I stick with 'fragrance free' as I have quite sensitive skin, and some of the others I tried would irritate my skin. These are again from boots, and are always on '3 for 2' offer. 



Acetone free nail polish remover by Sainsbury's - This nail varnish remover is so good, it lasts absolutely ages. It takes of your nail varnish instantly and leaves your nails clean and fresh. There is absolutely no need to spend money on fancy nail polish remover when there is these basics for cheaper prices at your local Sainsbury's. Easy peasy. This polish is also suitable for acrylic and artificial nails if you wear those! 



Women's Sure Cool Blue Fast Drying Anti-Perspirant - This deodorant is a must for me! I have tried others, such as spray deodorant and different brands. But for me personally, this is my favourite. It smells lovely, is easy to apply and lasts all day. It is also extremely fast to dry meaning you don't have to wait ages before getting dressed afterwards. Perfecto! 


Boots Essentials Moisturising Lotion - I haven't always used this product but since I have been using it, I wonder how I ever didn't. I think it's important to moisturise your body daily to keep your skin refreshed and clean, it also will keep your skin soft and prevent spots. I use this lotion on my face more than my body, before I go to bed at night I use it on my face and also after i've had a shower in the morning before putting my make-up on I also apply it, as moisturiser also acts as a sort-of primer, meaning your make-up will last longer. 



 I'd love to hear about what products you use everyday, so let me know some of your favourite everyday basic products in the comments below! :)
